it’s like choosing between hammers and screwdrivers: they are completely different tools with completely different use cases.

BitTorrent is a dumb system for transferring bulk files as fast as possible, while IPFS is an intelligent database for managing small bits of information.

It’s like asking to choose between a sports car and a semi truck: they’re simply different for doing different things.

@volkris Appreciate it. I'm still digging myself into the implementations to decide on my use case. The IPFS HTTP Gateway is very interesting to translate to IPFS content. Looking to still leverage HTTP to find distributed content.
